LOVEBITES - M.D.O. - DALLAS - 9-8-24 - FIRST US HEADLINER SHOW EVER

[@ThePentagenarian]

Keep it up on this deep dive - this definitely highlights Miyako (the chick on the right). They definitely move around on other songs. I just flew to Dallas from Michigan to see them in one of their four US shows last Sunday. They were all over the stage. Enjoy. PS - Vocals - Asami Stage Left Guitarist (right view) - Miyako Stage Right Guitarist - Midori Bassist - Miho (replaced by Fami) Drummer - Haruna (aka Little Big Engine)

Headed to San Francisco to see them tonight. Been waiting a LONG, LONG time for this. 🤘😎🤘

Brilliante Band, grossartiger Song, fantastisches Publikum. Wunderschön!

[@markchristensen2591]

Man that show was awesome!!! So glad I made the drive to see them.

[@ThePentagenarian]

Agreed. I am at work and exhausted, but the time, money, and effort to get to Dallas from Michigan was well worth it. I will do it again if necessary next time!

[@hiawatha.g]

Thanks for posting these. Dallas was the only one I missed! I've posted "Unchained" from San Francisco on my channel, in case you are interested. Lots of closeups of the band. Rock on!

[@evilvolts]

I loved the fact they played the first live version of new song Unchainrd in Atlanta and Dallas although in Atlanta there were mike issues

[@Daniel_Colavecchio]

I was standing in front of you to the right at the show. The back of my bald head is in the intertubes forever thanks to you! And yes it was a great show.

[@ThePentagenarian]

Heya! It was good talking to you! The only thing I thought when the show ended was "MORE!!"

[@metalmark1214]

Glad you got to see the metal queens live. I thought they might play Where's Identity in place of M.D.O. on there set list. Maybe in the future they will.

[@okkuオック]

Thank you for showing us the live video of LOVEBITES amazing live performance. It sounds like you had a tough time getting to the live concert venue. I am glad you enjoyed the live performance. From Japan.🐺🤘🎤🎸🎸🎸🥁👍👏🤗

[@landho1001]

Awesome video. ❤❤. Thanks for sharing! I will see Lovebites in two days in San Francisco. It will be a small venue like this.

[@ThePentagenarian]

You will love it!

[@terry2276]

Awesome! Great cam angle! I was rather around the right hand side. I somehow watched the mouse of Fami shouting MDO in front of me, and that has somehow energized my MDO shouting! Yes, definitely this is Midori’s great master piece, 😍 love it!

[@faisolhamdiisa693]

Thanks for the video. Salute to you my friend! Wolfpack 🐺 rules!

[@drummersakura]

Thank you for sharing such a great show. I also saw their live performance in Tokyo last week, and I'm jealous of you who got to see them so close.😆

[@ThePentagenarian]

I have been getting very lucky so far at the shows I go to. When I went and saw orbit culture I was also about 10 feet from the stage. The video from that show was lost due to a bad SD card. When I drive to Pennsylvania to go see Jinjer and Hanabie, I plan on trying to do the same. At 6'2" and 300+ pounds, I am built to withstand the "push" of being in front. LOL

[@donbrashsux]

Wow you did an amazing job job filming and bring this to all that couldn’t be there .. great sound and show 👌🙏🙏💪

[@ThePentagenarian]

Thank you!

[@chriso6719]

🤘🤘 Damn you were right up close.

10' away from the stage!

[@derekfoster9823]

I saw you at the show, I didn't get a chance to say hi and say how much I appreciate your channel.

[@ThePentagenarian]

Bummer! It would have been good to meet you. Well, next time they're in the states, keep an eye out because I'm going to show up at one of their shows after seeing them live this time. I'm not sure what my radius is, but from Michigan, I flew to Dallas for this one. Next I'm driving to Pennsylvania to go see Jinjer and Hanabie. One might say that my concert radius is expanded. LOL

[@fredalbrecht986]

It may just be me but it seems Fami is getting hotter and hotter every time I see her. She's turning out to be a rather visible Metal Head. Love it and thank you for posting this for those who are too far away to go see them. It's appreciated.

[@ThePentagenarian]

As her confidence grows, so will her presence. She still has permagrin from being chosen, IMHO. Can you even imagine that phone call/meeting after an audition? Ring Ring "Hello?" "Congratulations. You are the new bassist for LOVEBITES." "....." "Hello?!?" "SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!" "Cool. See you at rehearsal." "SQUEE?" "Yes, you will be measured and you can design your own outfit when you get here. See you soon." "SQUEE." "You are welcome! See you soon ."

[@gatograto]

Great sound quality.

[@ThePentagenarian]

Once I got home and put it on my PC, I was presently surprised by it. At the venue I turned down the mic input about three clicks so it didn't overdrive. I think I found my settings for live shows. ;-)

[@gatograto]

@@ThePentagenarian Great, I'll be looking forward to your another live reports!!

👍👍Very cool. Thanks for sharing. 🖖❤

[@ThePentagenarian]

Thanks for watching!

[@boyzyu]

Pretty good audio and video quality ! Sounds like a pretty awesome crowd.

[@TheCyberMantis]

I think Fami got tired of her wireless unit coming loose all the time. She went old-school with a cable. Sugiyama-san taking pics, and keeping an eye on Fami's cable! 😁

[@boyzyu]

@@TheCyberMantis Yeah, I noticed that. She was quite careful not to trip over the cable when she was moving around the stage.

[@piddeandersson4628]

When I noticed tha cable hanging from Fami's bass, I couldn't take my eyes off it. Is she going to trip over it? Is she going to trip? Well, she didn't.

[@dg3258]

How was the show??!!

[@ThePentagenarian]

Amazing! That video will be showing up tomorrow. MDO had so little editing needed, I pulled it, clipped it and posted it when I got home in Michigan from Dallas. Now, after 34 hours of flying and watching LOVEBITES LIVE, I am going to actually get some restful sleep in my own bed. LOL (It didn't help that the friend I was staying with put on ARCANE the first night and then Squid Game the second night... I binge watched both... I got ZERO sleep! LOL!)

[@dg3258]

@ThePentagenarian HAHA. Sounds like a great trip and I'm sure Lovebites was the experience of a lifetime! Look forward to tomorrow's video. Get some rest! 🤘

[@rainerzufall42]

@@ThePentagenarian Glad you got home safe! Great show!

[@vincentbonfigli2954]

It looked like Miyako was having fun too! She didn't seem as stoic as she is in their videos. Was she like that the whole show?

[@ThePentagenarian]

YES! Miyako was all over the place! In one of the videos I'm working on editing she actually moved all the way over to Midori's spot and I have close-up footage. She was rocking, swaying, they were even a couple of moments when she was head banging, and not just head nodding, her hair was going all over the place! Well she didn't get into "the stance" like Midori, she sure rocked out! It was AWESOME to see!

[@ricardo__jr]

Interesting that Fami is the only one that is plugged in.

[@petermoua4583]

how was the ladies live? i’ll be seeing them tonite.

[@ThePentagenarian]

Oh, you know... You are going to lose your mind at how good they are live. I am actually taking a short break between recording moments for my review.

[@petermoua4583]

@@ThePentagenarian i’ll be looking forward for that video. i knew they won’t disappoint i’m more worried about how the sound guys might do here in the states.

[@ThePentagenarian]

@@petermoua4583 I was able to see the last few minutes of their soundcheck in Dallas... US sound guys might not be ready for Miyako.. LOL She owns it like a boss. It was a bummer that the show started 30 minutes late, but it was because the band wasn't going to go on unless the sound was to their standards, and it showed during the show. Rest well.

[@petermoua4583]

@@ThePentagenarian i just got back after a night in LA after the show. i wouldn’t trade the experience of seeing them live for anything. i’m just blessed that i got the chance to see them live and in the future when they come to cali i won’t miss it.

[@Tomoyan_TV]

famiっこだけ有線？？ 動きにくかったでしょうにがんばりましたね！

[@jawosammadennhier7062]

Yes, only Fami is playing her bass guitar with a cable ("old school"). Probably some technical issue with her guitar's radio plug.

[@ThePentagenarian]

I know that they were having some sound issues before the show because the show didn't start until after 8:30p. The sound check took long enough that they let the non MNG VIP pass holders in for the last 5-10 minutes of their sound check. It was pretty cool to see them up there in sweats doing their sound check and kind of goofing around. Before they went backstage to change into their performance clothes, Asami started to wave at everyone and said "Bye! See you soon!" I paid an extra $20 to just get past the line and got a brief glimpse of the sound check. Totally worth it!

[@justiceforall3973]

Ugh! Sorry, this video did NOT do the girls or this great song any justice…. But thanks for sharing!!!

[@ThePentagenarian]

Shot with a handheld 10' from the stage. Think of it as more of a "documenting the band" kind of video. LOL

[@donbrashsux]

I found this very enjoyable over many of the other postings frm fans 💪👌

[@kgspollux6998]

WHY is such a great band of skilled musicians convicted to play in such narrow, limited venues in the UNITED STATES of AMERICA (like small novices, who still have to earn their very first admissions) ?? It's very simple. Because the crucial investors haven't still acknowledged how to make a million-dollar-business with them . . . but from then on, everything is possible . . .

[@kgspollux6998]

@@jawosammadennhier7062 We all hope so. In this digital age of instant distribution via internet it might be a fraction of time for them to get acquaintance to all metal souls over the whole world (!) who really love them (and buy their merch with good grace . . . )

[@terry2276]

@kgspollux6998 You got a very good and crucial point. I have asked a related question to one commenter and got to know that they do not belong to a music management company and only get contracted with Victor for the CD/Blue Ray. So in that person’s opinion, the band itself needs to expense for the tour, meaning they afford only small venue especially the oversea ones….I personally am not 100% sure on this, and this could be from their intention?…but yes, I wonder there should be more deserved place and the preparation of the concerts for this phenomenal level of band, while I love this touching closeness to them. Any angel…..somewhere…?
